XCOR is heavily promoting a press announcement of its partnering with another company to sale tickets for suborbital flights. Never a company to mince words, touting itself as "builder of the 2-seat Lynx rocket powered suborbital vehicle," so far appearing only in YouTube videos, the company calls their planned news conference in Beverly Hills, "a display of the power of competition."
"American entrepreneurs have broken the government monopoly on space travel, and succeeded in lowering the cost of space access before a single paying participant has taken a flight," the announcement reads. "Even if the overall economy may look down, the market for space tourism is looking up.
"On Tuesday, December 2, XCOR Aerospace is introducing its General Sales Agent for ticket sales and will announce a price that is substantially lower than prices quoted by leading competitors."
XCOR says it "will introduce its new partner, a well-known and established travel entrepreneur with extensive experience in high-end adventure travel, who will outline the total Lynx flight experience, from initial screening, to training, and finally, the flight itself."
